We could, but the reason I made it resizable is because of the different desktop sizes. if I make it small enough to fit in a 640x480 then it'll look way too small to the people with big screens. With that said, I think it should be left resizable, that way if you have a large display, you can resize it to whatever you like, dont need to maximize it if you dont want to

I see. I dont need to maximize the window, but while resizing I lost the proportions and aligns. That's why I though shouldn't be resizable. I was not aware of the resolution problem, sorry.

Annoyance:I still have not tried this myself (working together with the entire distro that is), but i read a review where some of the settings listed on vasmCC cannot be ran under X. I would suggest removing these from vasmCC if they will only lead the user to a dead-end screen.

That was my initial reaction, but as I thought about it more I decided it was wise to keep it there even though you can't run it from the GUI. The reason is that a new user may not even think of VASM until he/she tries it in the GUI. So if there's nothing in VASMCC, a new user may not realize the option is available. Maybe we need a more detailed description of what to do, such as "You cannot run Hardware Config while you're in the graphical desktop. You need to exit to a console and run VASM there."

Of course, this will bring the newbie face-to-face with the difficulty of getting out of X when you log in with run level 4 or 5. And how do you explain in a simple way how to start a text console? It's not hard, but it sure is wordy. That's one reason I use run level 2--I can't stand how that blasted X server never quits if you log out of the graphical desktop. --GrannyGeek

I also think that the option should stay there regardless, because the user wouldn't know that the option exists.

You can always write "init 2" in a console. Perhaps the text in VasmCC should say that. Or maybe VasmCC itself (and VASM) could launch init 2, by just asking for the root password. Of course, the problem here is that the user should be aware that whatever is in X is going to disappear for good. Or perhaps explain the Ctrl-Alt-F2 procedure... but yes, it is a bit complicated.Or maybe a text in the window itself (above the icons, for example) that explains this, instead of the user having to click on it and getting a message....
